"How about Notre Dame. This team right now are playing at a high leve offensively. Defensively they were already playing fantastic football. But now the offense is catching up and they don't have a conference championship game. When the season is over it's over so they have no chance of someone pulling an upset in the championship game. And look what they have left. They have Pitt, Navy. Navy might be a tricky game. Northwestern, Florida State, Syracuse and they end the season traveling out west to take on the Trojans of USC. I think simply because when it's over it's over, no championship game they just might have the easiest road."
